It's the most exhilarating, entertaining and enlightening way to see San Francisco - the first-ever GPS-guided storytelling car! The clever talking car navigates for you and points out the sights that bring San Francisco to life. Experience what the press is buzzing about, what visitors rave about and what Time Magazine has nominated "as one of the coolest inventions of the year".

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Palace of Fine Arts Theatre
The Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina District of San Francisco, California, is a monumental structure originally constructed for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in order to exhibit works of art presented there. One of only a few surviving structures from the Exposition, it is still situated on its original site. In addition to hosting art exhibitions, it remains a popular attraction for tourists and locals.
2. Golden Gate Bridge
Certainly the most-photographed bridge in the world, the Golden Gate Bridge is synonymous with San Francisco. Drive up to the viewing area, or the foot of the bridge at Fort Point, to take pictures. You can take even better pictures at Baker Beach, a few minutes drive past the bridge!
3. Lombard Street
Nothing beats zooming down Lombard Street, San Francisco's "Crookedest Street" in your GoCar at the end of your tour. This is a great way to experience one of San Francisco's most iconic streets.
4. Fisherman's Wharf
Drive through San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf, passing the bustling Crab Shacks, Bakeries and Curio Shops on your way to Golden Gate Bridge. Don't forget to wave to the other visitors!
5. Ocean Beach
Look for sand dollars in the fog and take photos of Seal Rock as it juts out of the Pacific Ocean at Ocean Beach.
6. Presidio of San Francisco
Some of the most beautiful views of San Francisco Bay are in the Presidio, a decommissioned military base that boasts beautiful architecture, a War Memorial, the Disney Museum and even a bowling alley! This area is just a 15 minute drive from Fisherman's Wharf, but feels like another world!
7. Fort Point National Historic Site
At the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge, Fort Point is both an excellent photo spot for the bridge and a fascinating monument to Gold Rush -era San Francisco.
8. Crissy Field
Crissy Field is where San Franciscan's exercise and play. Wave to runners, soccer players and dog walkers as you zoom past beautiful views of the Bay on your way to the Golden Gate Bridge.
9. Golden Gate Park
A natural and cultural center, Golden Gate Park spans almost half the length of San Francisco, and is home to the Conservatory of Flowers, California Academy of Sciences, deYoung Museum, Japanese Tea Garden, Stow Lake and the Buffalo Paddock.
10. Legion of Honor
View the Rodin Sculpture "The Thinker" outside the beautiful Legion f Honor Museum.
11. Sutro Baths
Sutro Baths are all that remains of what was once a popular SF natatorium that was destroyed in a fire. A hauntingly beautiful spot to view the North Pacific Ocean.

GPS in the car did not work the entire time and got lost because of it. Traveled through all parts of SF just trying to get back to where we started. Fix your cars

We had so much fun riding around and listening to the audio guided tour! The workers were friendly and helpful. The GoCar was easy to operate, but it may be time to do some upgrading. The seats and floor mats were worn out. There were times when the audio tour would be talking about something, and then cut off mid sentence to talk about something else. The negatives do not outweigh the fun and experience, so I would still recommend this activity!

Absolutely fantastic. If you have time take a car for a day. You won't regret it. The little yellow car lets you go to places the regular buses can't go. You get a whole new perspective on San Fransisco.

The best experience to visit San Francisco is to take the go cars.
It is easy to drive, it has a GOS that gives you directions and also curiosities about each landmark.
My wife and I enjoyed that we could pace ourselves during the tour. We could stop longer in some places and in others we just passed by.
I strongly recommend the 3h tour or even the 4h because there are plenty of things to see and do in San Francisco.
